Latinos vie for school board, council seats in Irving – Texas
Tagged: Dallas, deportation, police, population, Texas
Four Latino candidates are running for seats on the all-white school board and City Council in Irving, whose population is mostly minority.
The candidates say they are not a slate and want to focus on issues and not on their ethnicity. But they acknowledge that the lack of Hispanics or other minorities on city and school governing boards also motivated them to run.
Controversy over the deportation of about 2,000 illegal immigrants arrested by police also was a catalyst.”*
